Year 7: Introduction and Safety

Key ideas:

  • There are activities performed and objects present in science lessons that are potentially harmful to the pupil
  • That there are rules that must be followed if the objects and activities are not to harm the pupil.
  • How to light a Bunsen burner
  • Names & functions of common laboratory equipment
  • How to perform a simple physical separation

Key words:

  • Hazard / hazardous
  • Bunsen burner
  • Chemicals
  • Dissolve
  • Flammable
  • Corrosive
  • Toxic
  • Caustic

Useful notes:
Science in school is a very safe subject. It stays this way only because teachers are continuously reminding pupils of the dangers, enforcing strict adherence to the rules and because pupils are willing to think about safety.
